The agreement, described by county staff as a routine July approval, covers the county’s $6,000 contribution for the program year beginning July 1. A supervisor moved to approve the joint participation agreement and another supervisor seconded; the chair recorded the voice vote as “Aye” and said “Motion carried.”

County staff said the contribution is the standard annual amount and requested only the chairman’s signature to formalize the participation. The meeting record does not show individual roll-call votes or identify the board members who moved or seconded the motion.

Why it matters: the joint participation agreement funds regional transit service (World Transit System) coordinated through SWIPCO, which provides transportation planning and transit coordination for participating counties. The county contribution helps maintain transit operations that serve residents who rely on public transportation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Page County Iowa Board Meeting July 1 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Page County supervisors approved the annual joint participation agreement with the Southwest Iowa Planning Council (SWIPCO) and authorized the chair to sign a $6,000 county contribution for the World Transit System transit project.","taxTitle","taxId",28864,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6179037,"MidAmerican Energy: anchor-bolt cages set to begin in Page County; turbine deliveries expected mid‑to‑late month",81,470505,551785,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5134178-27fc50b1c5690bbc1efc6e5de026647c&start=470&end=551","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5134178-27fc50b1c5690bbc1efc6e5de026647c/thumbnail_470505.jpg","/articles/6179037/Page-County/Iowa/MidAmerican-Energy-anchor-bolt-cages-set-to-begin-in-Page-County-turbine-deliveries-expected-midtolate-month","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179037-c416662ce7af77440a3e95e4bd70dc3c/orig.mp4?Expires=1774916964&Signature=k58-GOHVhbS2cTibPvkQJV-quVMfZayIidUT6jvQJH9lwAbC1iMF4oLcSkCuWRDIx37ly~WMMd8tUefO12-UJny1uVlamM4WTlCEkiOBhvGxBaFOhRR413M7N6C8VowUQ8MBq5pWicKqhZMC25htE2Rjbod01H0jKEKvcb2jKVVTZUVIS3Oe7JkO1P5No-u9bGLbEL7x~1BfZVgPDtJNVWcZrcn1jV2D8kde0UwKB7rdPOb55Nm~wsLC~0gWgPGURc6-ipzZPlMcKbEqERHLMOAqN~iw-PuyqXk7N-rmtIdJpVS4f9qBeelaUapiL5TP8B-8i-upaVjVmiQA1UPLEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A MidAmerican Energy representative told Page County supervisors on July 2 that foundation work for planned wind turbines is underway in the county and that delivery of turbine components is expected toward the middle to late part of the month.

John Huff, a MidAmerican Energy representative, said rebar and concrete foundation work has taken place “mostly in the southwest portion of the Page County project area.” He said anchor-bolt cages — the steel structures that secure turbine towers to concrete foundations — were being built and the first installation in Page County was expected the next day.

“As those are installed, we draw closer to the delivery of wind turbine components like the tower, the blades, and the nacelles,” Huff said, adding that larger cranes already are operating in Fremont County but will appear in Page County only once components begin arriving. He said the project team intends to notify county officials in advance of major deliveries and crane mobilizations.

Huff said the current week was short for construction because of the holiday; trenching and directional boring are underway in Page County but major component work will follow foundation and anchor-bolt installation. He offered to provide a further update in the coming weeks as schedules firm up.

Why it matters: anchor-bolt and foundation work are precursors to major deliveries and crane operations that affect local traffic, road use and logistics around work sites. Project notices from the developer will precede large equipment moves, Huff said.","MidAmerican Energy told Page County supervisors that foundation rebar and concrete work is underway in the county and the first anchor bolt cage installation is expected imminently; turbine component deliveries are anticipated mid‑to‑late this month.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6179041,"Page County approves 28E agreement to join CHBB bridge grant; engineer details road work and bridge timeline",304,55970,360095,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5134178-27fc50b1c5690bbc1efc6e5de026647c&start=55&end=360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5134178-27fc50b1c5690bbc1efc6e5de026647c/thumbnail_55970.jpg","/articles/6179041/Page-County/Iowa/Page-County-approves-28E-agreement-to-join-CHBB-bridge-grant-engineer-details-road-work-and-bridge-timeline","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6179041-5394251a123a8093694013fa787647c3/orig.mp4?Expires=1774916964&Signature=R4zFJGK3DUvChKCbQ~qIZrqSkDE5uCMXK0j9MJaJ3yBH70djl0m5XgpUsilb6mgYE4L0ydZ~eXwvnzU5NzOFwRx~ZADQeHdO2gHxwlW84eJNIhMtPhsHKG2y5Z8MDiV9CpZmA0JN4~6EgHg~8UF4O77rNm7~CMBVGXgRKT7drI37lrPbRM3WvyQ1vyUvmwslDD-6RJix-NzmqHPGreinrZRo5LZMnllaqtRm35Wr2~cNGg5CXHNbK6nwHCtMBuaUVG8z-VkDeiXK91FHeKnl5o-hVHRnFXIyZvPc2iKt-3gRYptmAboaKGq0myLc85e9AJRiDJzQng-fweB6i44CKQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Page County supervisors on July 2 approved a 28E intergovernmental agreement and a companion resolution to join a Competitive Highway Bridge Bundle grant application and heard an update from County Engineer JD King on road maintenance and a near-term bridge opening.

The 28E agreement and Resolution 27-20-25 were approved by voice vote without recorded individual roll-call; the board chair stated “All in favor? Aye. Motion approved,” after motions were made and seconded. The documents were then made available for signatures.

“The 28E is about 30 pages long — it’s routine,” King said, referring to an intergovernmental agreement required for the joint grant application. The agreement ties Page County and partner agencies into the CHBB grant process for work on the Newark/Neely Ranch area of Redwood Avenue (project references in the meeting), the engineer said.

King reported local maintenance work underway: crews ran blades on shoulders, completed an initial narrow pass and planned a second, wider pass to firm soft spots where water has been ponding. He said workers will smooth rock on recently finished “perler” jobs and that dust-control vendors applied treatments in Heffron with a second application planned for next week.

King also described equipment issues affecting the county fleet: ongoing exhaust-regeneration problems with unit 40, and the county is awaiting the return to service of unit 41 before removing and diagnosing unit 40. He said fuel pumps were reported shipped on June 25 but the county had not received full shipping details. He added that unit 42 had been picked up and returned from RDO in Omaha.

On the bridge project north of Essex, King said he and county staff walked the bridge punch list with the contractor; guardrail installation is scheduled later this week, followed by dirt work. “We continue to talk about opening the bridge North Of Essex in mid July. Weather dependent,” King said. He noted dirt work cannot be finished during rainy conditions and that final timing depends on the contractor’s ability to complete erosion control and grading.

The board approved the grant-related 28E agreement and Resolution 27-20-25 by motion; the chair indicated the documents will be signed. The meeting record does not show individual vote tallies, movers, or seconders by name.

The county also deferred approval of claims until the auditor and treasurer complete final checks; the board agreed to approve claims at a future meeting once staff confirm accuracy.

Why it matters: The 28E agreement lets Page County participate in a multi-jurisdictional federal grant application that would fund bridge repairs and related roadwork on county routes. The engineer’s maintenance update identifies near-term public impacts — soft shoulders, dust-control sprays, temporary equipment outages and a tentative mid-July bridge opening — that affect local travel plans.","Page County supervisors approved a 28E intergovernmental agreement and resolution to participate in a Competitive Highway Bridge Bundle (CHBB) grant application.
